Topic: What to buy???? (Read 1598 times)

I currently shoot with a Nikon D700.. I have used Canon in the past.. I want to get a new Canon.. A lot of my friends shoot with Canon, 5D Mark lll, 6D, 70D, which all interest me. But there is talk about perhaps a 7D Mark ll, in the horizon, What do I do? get one of the three models mentioned above or do you think there will be 7D Mark ll sometime soon? I shoot a lot of Landscape, Nature, some portrait. I just don't know what to do, which model to buy?

For landscapes, the 12MP of the D700 had a lot of Nikon photographers wanting the higher resolution of the 5D bodies. Since you presumably own Nikon lenses, if you want higher resolution images, a D610 or D800 would upgrade you for less money. As noted, the D700 is still a excellent camera unless you are needing severe crops.

I would not recommend going to a crop body like the 70D or 7D once you've had a FF body.If switching to Canon is something you want to do (to be able to borrow or share lenses with your friends), you need to know if they are using EF-S crop lenses, or EF full frame lenses. The 5D and 6D FF bodies will not mount EF-s lenses.
